While there were many happy beginnings this year, it also brought us a sad ending. We said goodbye to a wonderful husband, father, friend, veteran, and all-around goofball.

In October, Shelby’s stepdad, Gary, passed away at 76. He will be remembered for wearing too short of shorts, coming up with silly games like “who can hold a log over their head the longest”, growing the best squash in town, and only listening to Enya in the car.

Gary loved to read (everything), boss us around on his sailboat, teach us random facts on hikes, eat turkey necks, and chat on the couch while drinking wine with his wife, Sue. Gary left a huge impact on this world and our family. We will miss him dearly.

In loving memory of Gary Horton

April 9, 1946 – October 21, 2022
